Yeah..

The RB20DE was used as a company car engine..

if its power you want.. you dont want an RB20DE..

Even my 25DE struggles a fair bit..

it is a GTS4 AND 4door.. so ~1400kg

[heapsgood]

Okay.

My Supra held dead level, with a R34 GTT (Auto in both)

Later on, I got my rear end handed to me by a V8 VN with an exhaust.

Basically, the R32 would most likley be beaten down like my Supra against a V8 in the VN.

Now against the V6, on the roll, I just start to loose out.

So I'd be hazarding a guess, that the R32 would loose out too (BTW, my Supra IS twin turbo)

Dude, a 2JZ-GTE being beaten by a 5ltr VN?

That doesn't sound right to me :s

Dude, a topic from 2007.

-.-

i raced some twin turbo supra and something was screwed in it.. it was stupid my n/a was keeping up with it.. his like.. "yeh i cant beat skyline stock turbos" im like.. dude mines n/a..

[Super Drager]

An NA Skyline should beat your average AU falcon or commodore(note:SHOULD) as they aren't very quick. At the drags tonight a stock AU falcon was running consistent flat 17's, however a stock EL automatic was running mid 15's the whole night with absolutely no mods. A mates VR commodore with full exhuast, extractors, V8 throttle body, bellmouth removed and shift kit ran 15.7 on his best run. Its the VN/VP commo's and EF/EL falcons that will spank an NA liner quite easily.

i'm guessing that there was something wrong with the AU (like probably done 300,000kms and getting a bit tired). i've driven quite a few of the aussie tanks and i can tell you than an AU will beat a VN or an EF. it won't be by much, but they are faster, and they sure as hell aren't a second slower.

[Birds]

I dunno Marco, I've driven an AU aswell and they feel faster than the old dogs but I think it might be the extra torque that gives it that feel. They are pretty slow off the line cause they are heavy bastards. The VR and EL were much lighter and launched a bit quicker IMO.

[mad082]

but if you stall them up on the brake they still get off the line pretty well. my father in law has an au and it gets off the line pretty well.

[Super Drager]

Nope the AU was in good condition as i spoke to the guy afterwards. As for being faster then a Vn i seriously doubt that, as a clapped out 300,000km 5spd VN ran a 15.8 bog standard.

[mad082]

was the au auto or manual? you can't compare manual to auto, but still, the stock times for the AU (non xr6) were low 16's for the autos. and the stock times for the EF/EL were pretty much the same. throw an exhaust on them and a set of tyres and you'll get well into the 15's. the xr6's are quicker. there are people with au xr6's into the 14's with CAI and exhaust.

[timr32gts]

hey, not so true i got a rb20de all stock besides spitfire coilpacks wouldnt do anything anyway but from a stop start i always get to 60 b4 most things besides a few time vs v8 ss xr6 turbo and a r33 gtst but most n/a's that try race me like all of them do i normally get a head then i stop cause dont wanna speed then they over take me cause obviously im braking so i dont go over speed limit but yeh last night this dick in a 2007 xr6 n/a was revin shit at me for like 2 kms then at set of lights i gave it to it on lights and beat him to 60 not by much but still did .. i dont know why everyone says rb20de is so shit mine isnt bad at all more power then i thought it was going to have... not saying its reall powerful but not as bad as u would think

[mad082]

thanks for a great laugh. i needed that.

[timr32gts]

yeah it is even thought im not talkin shit but ay i wouldnt belive it either rb20de one of the lowest powered rbs

[bozodos]

LOL

i don't know whether to laugh at the transparent bullshit, or rage @ how much of a retard you are timr32gts. do yourself a favour and get rid of your r32, you're an insult to the rest of us ;p

[mad082]

i could understand beating aussie 6's because of the fact that their diff ratios are so tall, but seriously, go up against other 4 cylinders (or people who can drive) and you'll find out just how slow it is.

and being able to go from 0-60 fast isn't a sign of power, just a sign of short diff ratios and decent traction (something an rb20 doesn't have to worry about since it has bugger all torque). try launching an aussie 6 or 8 by revving it up and side stepping the clutch like you can in a low torque, high revving car and you'll find that it is suddenly hard to see due to all the smoke.

[bozodos]

the gf's 1200 beats most things up to 50/60 LOL. food for thought.

[timr32gts]

LOL bozodos get fkd man no shit i kno my car has shit all power im not sayin my car is fast just sayin what has happened ..... all i read on n/a threads are r32 gts are shit and have nothing all im sayin is it does have a bit obviously its not alot since non turbo and rb20de .... what else im a p plate cant drive a turbo or else i would of got one and i love skylines why would i get rid of it ...if i liked say ford / holdens or something else i would of got one but no i dont like any of them at all .. insult to the rest of us hahaha gee dont even know you

[Touge Kyousou]

Lol, you're driving an n/a buddy...get used to being the underdog. Frustrating at times but ah well.. you get sweet sounding revs and awesome response.

[timr32gts]

thanks man well yea cant do anything about n/a while im on my p plates but eh turbo in 2 years.

[CaM!]

I agree it doesnt sound right at all . , lol ive beaten a au falcon with a 94 2.0l sonata

Dude, a 2JZ-GTE being beaten by a 5ltr VN?

That doesn't sound right to me :s
